“Sweet and friendly server , small restaurant. Several booths and a few small tables. Not fancy but comfortable.

We ordered 2 lamb dishes and one vegetarian, all were tasty. The korma was noted on other recommendations so we tried and were not disappointed.

The dessert was a small portion so I wished the kheer had a bit more serving for the cost.

I keep forgetting to take photos but other reviews include.

Beer and wine options but no cocktails fyi.

Extra note/ This is Definitely better than another Indian restaurant further down Second st amidst the sport bar district. ( Natraj) That one has small portions, less fresh, and less friendly service. They also upcharge / don't even include rice with their entrees.

We will visit Flavor of Punjab again.“

“Had an amazing lunch today from Natraj Cuisine of India in Long Beach. We ordered pickup today and nothing disappointed. We had the Dahl, veggie samosas, Chana masala, Gobi Mattar, and lots of Roti! More than enough for leftovers, which I’m very much looking forward to! Plus, the staff was friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to going back!“

“I read good reviews so we thought would go and give a try. Well the family and I had fantastic meal. My husband had a goat fish and said was very flavorful and tasty. For the kids (8, 11)we got a mild Lamb Korma and Butter chicken. With these I confirmed that they would be mild enough for the kids. The butter chicken and lamb korma even though was ordered as mild (no spice at all to it) it had an absolutely amazing flavor to it- perfect for kids. Now I have had a lot of butter chicken and hands down this was the best I have ever had. The chicken fried rice we ordered was very tasty as well. Highlight for my husband was the beer from India. He said it was very nice and complimented the food nicely.“

“I ordered Aloo Paratha to go, and while the 25‑minute wait was frustrating, the taste made up for it. Back in 2018, when I was in India, I often enjoyed parathas, but I’ve never found that same authentic flavor anywhere else—until today. For the first time, it felt like I got that taste back.“

“I'm very pleased with the food, taste and service. Definitely try the chicken Tika marsala.“

“RT Kitchen is truly a hidden gem. Raju bhai and his team crafts the best Gujarati eats and snacks I have ever tried. I have been impressed by every item on the menu I've tried so far. I used to eat at places down the street in Artesia, but RT Kitchen is now my go-to! It is a smaller establishment with three tables for dining in and an assortment of packaged snacks behind the counter.

The Vada Pav comes on a lightly toasted pav and fried potato filling. Their Samosas (my favorite) have a very flakey crust, and a great crust to filling ratio. The Kachori was delicious too. Their green and red (sweet) sauces are perfect for dipping these!

The Fafda Jalebi and Khaman were excellent and tasty mid-afternoon snacks.

The Mini Thali or Gujarati Thali, available weekends only, makes a tasty meal whenever I'm more hungry.

The Shrikhand is a great complement to balance out the spices after a tasty meal! All other Shrikhands I try elsewhere now leave me disappointed.

The snacks behind the glass counter are unique and tasty too! My favorite is the Dhani, similar to popcorn. Great snack when watching a movie at home. The Potato Gathiya, and Sev Mamra are excellent too!“

“The cuisine was top notch and the service was even better. Pure and authentic Panjabi. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“They have the best naan I’ve ever had! Delicious Indian food including vegetarian, meat and fish entrees, and a wide selection of dosa and biryanis. Very friendly staff and a cosy environment. Have enjoyed it every time we’ve eaten there.“

“This place is the best Indian food I’ve had in Southern California. The chicken tikka is so good and so are the samosas!“

“ordered the Chicken Biryani and the Chicken Masala, and wow both were absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich, perfectly spiced, and you can really taste the freshness in every bite. The chicken was tender, juicy, and full of flavor plus it’s halal, which is a huge plus.

The portion sizes were generous, definitely great for sharing (or keeping all to yourself if you’re hungry like me). The food came out hot and fresh, and the aroma alone had me excited before I even took a bite. Oh yeah, it’s super cheap too. $10 a plate for huge portions in 2025!

If you’re looking for authentic, flavorful Indian food that hits the spot, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes from the menu highly recommend!“

“It was real authentic food with large portion , served nice and hot and tasty to eat. The chef and people are very friendly and nice . They cater to your needs if needed .“

“I come here once a month to stock up on Indian food. The frozen curries are enough for 2 or 3 meals each with rice. the samosas are great and the lentil soup or dal is great for protein! I'll also buy a masala Dosa or idli's to eat with a mango lassie before going home. It's a great deal!“

“The best vegetarian South indian food in Artesia period. I personally love their thali's, variety of dosas and vadas. And their South indian filter coffee which is rare to get in restaurants is to die for. If you want authentic South indian food and especially if you are a vegetarian like me, you don't have to look beyond Bhimas!“

“A really good place for some great Dosa (& South Indian varieties) and tiffin options in particular when it comes to Veg restaurants in the neighborhoods of Artesia. The restaurant lives up to its reputation for the original Tirupati branch.

THE FOOD:
We got Sambar Vadai, Paneer Dosa, Batura with Chole and Batura with Paneer along with rose milk. Sambar Vadai was spicy to some extent and probably because it was hot we felt more. It’s soft and nicely made. The Paneer dosa was very good, and the paneer tasted great as well. The Batura was excellent. Not so oily and seemed like it was fried in fresh oil. The Paneer gravy was kind of decent not the best but the Chole was so good. Been here 6 years before and it still remained the same: good at quality and quantity. Rose milk was usual like any other place.

SERVICE & AMBIENCE:
The place is well lit and gives a typical Indian hotel vibe. The restaurant gives a nice feel of having a good home made food especially the spice levels are pretty normal and sits well on your tummy. The staffs and waiters are extremely friendly, fast and make things easier while ordering/ serving and they still allow you to sit and dine past the closing time (unlike SriKrishnaVilas of Cumming,GA who really need to learn from them on how to value customers). Excellent customer service.

BOTTOMLINE: A very traditional South Indian restaurant that excels when it comes to South Indian food items and tiffin, with some amazing Customer service and great ambience with good quality food and priced reasonably well for the quantity offered. Would highly recommend.

MY PICKS FOR YOU: Dosa varieties, Chole Batura, South Indian Meals“

“Can’t believe I took so long to try out Bhooke. This place is UP THERE. Given the recent dip in quality at Rajdhani, would say it’s top two for Artesia.. (Podi Dosa and Bhooke)

Portions are HUGE. Service is GREAT (shout out to Bharat for looking after us so well). Chai is MADE RIGHT (masala and piping hot). Authenticity is 100 (food served in dishes wrapped in banana leaves, thalis.., art on the wall.. AWESOME). Taste? SO SO SOOOOOOOO GOOD

But also not for the faint hearted. The food is cooked with love and lots of ghee. Whether you’re dunking the ghee-soaked baati in earthy daal, or stuffing yourself with the crumbly, sweet churma or besan ladoos.. the Rajasthani flavors are front and center.. and the confronting quality of the taste is too upfront to dismiss

Best kachoris we’ve had stateside.. hands down (recommend the kachori chaat). Highly recommend the Maharaja thali.. get to try everything.. and comes with lassi, sweet dishes.. and three different types of bread (rumali roti/baati/other types of bread!). Beware.. portions are massive.. so expect to take food to go!

Will 10000% be back!“

“I am absolutely delighted with my experience at Angara Indian Restaurant! The menu is a love letter to Indian cuisine, with a wide variety of traditional dishes to suit every palate. I started off with the Shrimp Tandoori and Mint Paneer Tikka, both of which were outstanding. The shrimp was perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection, while the paneer tikka was creamy and flavorful with just the right hint of mint. For my main course, I tried the Lamb Tikka Masala and Navratan Korma. The lamb tikka masala was rich and creamy, with tender lamb pieces cooked to perfection in a flavorful tomato sauce. The Navratan Korma was a delightful surprise, with a delicious mix of vegetables, nuts, and dried fruits in a creamy sauce. The service was also top-notch, with friendly staff happy to answer questions and make recommendations. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes. Overall, I'm so impressed with Angara Indian Restaurant that I've already recommended it to friends and family. If you're a fan of Indian cuisine or just looking to try something new, this is a must-visit and one of the best Indian restaurant in Torrance, California.“

“We want to thank Hemal, Hetal, Saumil and the entire Rasraj team for being amazing caterers for our wedding day and reception! Hemal, Hetal, and Saumil worked with us months in advance to create an amazing all-day wedding menu that was unique, delicious, and incredibly creative. They walked us through numerous options and ideas during our tasting with our family and were extremely professional and on top of things on the big day.

The food was absolutely delicious! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the dishes, and we even had family from India commenting that some of the entrees were the best they had ever had. The fun presentations, like drinks and appetizers served pre-ceremony, were a big hit and added a special touch to the event.

Rasraj was fully prepared with all the equipment and supplies and arrived on time, ensuring that no one went hungry. The service was seamless, and their attention to detail was impressive. If you’re looking for amazing catering for your wedding or event, look no further than Rasraj! Thanks so much, Hemal, Hetal, Saumil and the Rasraj team!“

Go see for your self.

Yuuummmm!“

“Wow, first time trying this place and I’m so happy I did. Best donuts and strawberry & crème croissant/whatever it was, ever! One of the donuts was a hybrid glaze/cinnamon roll donut…amazing! I just finished eating everything and my mouth is watering just typing this out right now. Highly recommend this place! So good!“

“The food is delicious and the service is very good! though I eat in, I always order more food to go to enjoy the next day.“

“This is a restaurant specialize in Southern Indian cuisine, which is 100% vegetarian but not vegan. Unassuming with friendly waitstaff, highly recommended. Some dishes can be quite spicy, please consult with the waiter about the degree of spiciness of a particular dish.“

“the staff and food was excellent!!! loved it“

“The food was tasty but there were some disappointments- we asked very clearly for very spicy and I made it clear that my wife is from Thailand and we are both accustomed to eating extremely spicy food. The food was not very spicy at all. I was disappointed by the lack of condiments and chutneys and also disappointed they brought so much bread at once and never offered fresh, so it was no longer warm and crispy by the time we finished. These are things I would overlook at a budget restaurant but this isn’t a budget restaurant. The food was good but I don’t think we’ll be back“

“Good food. The lunch buffet selection could be better!“

“Good food and ambiance. Great place to be with family and friends“

“Testy food…very nice respectful staff..we enjoyed testy yummy food 🥘“

“Shepherd’s Pie & fish & chips are amazing! The drink & service was awesome! I can’t wait to go back!“

“it would be nice if you start sealing the bags. I purchased bunch of farsan and none of the were sealed.The new zip lock bags are poor quality. The food is amazing. It would be nice if it was less spicy. People who enjoy spice just give them chilli paste. Thank you.“

“Bezawada & Bamboo biryani 5-star ***** Highly Recommended for tasty n delicious food 😋“

“Auténtic South Indian food“

“Sambar and chutneys were excellent. I was craving something spicy and andra kara masala dosa hit the spot very well. I also liked how it didn't felt too greasy or had an overwhelming buttery taste. However, the dosa came out soft and pale. It would have been a perfect meal if they didn't undercook the dosa.“

“New, clean and food tastes excellent!

Location of this place is amazing. Quite a small space to dine in but fits in a group of 2-3 perfectly. Best would be to take out.

Pizza was amazing. We tried vegetarian options of Peppy and cheese makhani pizza (with additional paneer). Size and price of the pizza were worth it.

Only point to note was, the service could have been faster. The cashier himself had to bake the pizza. However, he did a great job when the pizza was served.

Overall must try place especially for vegetarian options.“

“absolutely loved the food here. the staff was so nice and professional. will recommend to everyone and will be coming back!“

“When go to Famous Tandoori please try their Philly Cheese Sandwich, Zinger Burger with Fries, Chicken Tikka Roll, Chapli Kabob, Shami Kabob, Lamb Biryani on Saturday, Chicken 65, Chicken Wings, Halwa Puri on Sunday, their Beef and Chicken Samosa's are the Best and Very Tasty“

“One of the best places for Indian food I have ever eaten and been to. We ordered Palak Paneer, Chicken Makhani, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka, Garlic Naan, all of them tasted really good and authentic! And also 5 stars for the service. Highly recommended!“

“The food and the atmosphere were great! We will definitely be back!“

“This place rocks. The pizza is awesome and how cool is it that they offer so many vegan options (I’m not vegan but my partner is). Big recommend.“
